I think that picture really says more than anything I could say, but I'll give it a try anyways. Triple H is one of the all-time greats
in pro wrestling. Whether you're ranking technical skill, ring psychology, character depth, his look or ever-important promo ability,
he's a conversation piece in all categories. Despite recent remarks by former Wrestlezone Tourament winner, Bret Hart, Triple H is
without a doubt, Hall of Fame worthy and among the best names in the history of the industry. Not in the top 1,000? My ass...

In case you're keeping track at home, that makes him not only a Triple Crown Champion, but only the second Grand Slam Champion in
WWE history. His non-numeric accolades include being the leader of two of the biggest factions ever - Evolution and Degeneration X.
He's responsible for making the careers of Randy Orton and Batista from a very young age. He's a pretty big part of the Attitude Era,
even if the DX presence has been slightly exaggerated over the years.

If Triple H encounters any opponent in a hardcore environment, I encourage you to review his Hell in a Cell and Street Fight matches
against Mankind, both of which he won. He's also defeated Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels inside the Cell.

Our biggest mountain ahead is two-fold: Triple H has had problems winning at WrestleMania in his "prime", losing several straight years
starting with Chris Benoit onward. That may translate into a lack of fath being able to win the big one here. He's also
notorious - as a heel - for having ringside help and interference to win his matches. Shawn Michael, Chyna, Stephanie, Walman, NAO, etc.

So I'm gonna need all my fellow Triple H marks...or just NorCal...to join me. Are you ready? NO I SAID, ARE YOU READY!?

I never said he'd win. I just said he's in the conversation. Maybe he's not a submission specialist, but he's damn consistent in the ring and has always been considered a "ring general". I mean all the word "technical" really implies is that one is attentive to the details of an art or process. He may not have Jericho's 1004 holds of doom, but I'd say in his prime has was up there in the more acknowledged of workers. People like Jericho - who is extremely "technical" - have put him over as having some of their best matches with him, and being extremely easy to work with because he's consistent and fluid in the ring. It's like a dance. It's not always about doing something different, but more often than not about doing something with consistency, and to the best of its ability.

Triple H has my vote in this tournament. The man has ALL the tools needed to go down as one of the very best in the history of the business.

His list of accolades is pretty much untouchable, and although he gets criticised for "dominating the title scene" in the early 2000s, and "only getting where he is because he married into the McMahon family"- I say bullshit. Triple H is (or was) a world class performer. If Edge and Orton got so many title reigns without boning Stephanie, do you think Triple H would not have been treated the same, as he is better than both those guys? Of course he would.

He has the look of a star, and in his prime had one of the best bodies in the business. He has had great feuds with pretty much all the top stars of the last 15 years, including classic matches with the likes of Maick Foley, The Rock, Undertaker, HBK, and many more as well as helping to launch the careers of Batista and Randy Orton.

He led Evolution and D-Generation X, two of the most successful factions in WWE history, was part of classic moments such as the Invasion of WCW Nitro with DX, the love triangle with Kurt and Steph, the marriage to Stephanie, The parody of The Nation, and was brilliant in his role as the leader of the McMahon-Helmsley regime.

He was the most hated heel in the company and one point, but just look at reaction he got when he returned from injury in 2002- one of the best pops of all time. That shows the respect that true fans have for Triple H. He deserves it. He is brilliant on the mic, capable of playing a great face and evil heel, and fantastic in the ring.
